How to change Lick boot order? (make Lick the default over Windows)

Post by moijdikssekool »

hi
i used lick to do a dual boot with bionicpup and win10
When PC starts, i have the choice between win10 and 'lick boot loader'. Windows is by default

==> i don't succed to change this order, to get lick by default <==

'lick boot loader' doesn't appear neither in msconfig nor in c:/programs/lick/res/lickgrub.cfg, and i don't see any config files in the windows boot partition

an idea?

The information is here with a link to how to do it posted in the Murga forum.

lickgrub.cfg should be the boot loader config file you want to edit. Well maybe.

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.

i confirm, the usb stick windows installer (mediacreationtool) allows to change the default boot (via 'repair the computer')
in lickgrub.cfg, there is only the entry for windows, and set default with 1 doesn't change anything

So you actually want the lick boot loader menu to show first.

Try doing the change this way:
